　　Ban the Band(樂隊)?

　　Every year,our school has a dance for all the students.It?s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful21,instead of the usual school uniform.

　　Most of us think the dance is great 22 even the teachers enjoy being there.23,two weeks ago someone said that there would be no24band this year-only CDs.

　　“I don?t25it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.

　　“Someone said the school couldn?t26a band,and they think it?s too noisy anyway,”added Daniel.

　　“Well,I don?t think it?s27enough without a band!”declared Angela,“and I?m going to see what can be done.”

　　Angela was as good as her28.In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the29some more thought.And he suggested that one30for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from MYM5 to MYM10.Angela had to31out whether the students would like to do that.

　　“I need all of you to help me,”she32to your group before school the next day.“Mr.Berry gave me a list of all the names,and suggested we ask each one their33about the band and the extra cost.”

　　Ⅲ.Reading comprehension 22%

　　Directions: There are three passages in the following.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D.You should decide on the BEST CHOICE.

A

　　“Go for it!”

　　The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something.

　　“Go for it!”means you should not worry about failure or be to careful.You should take a chance,be brave and act firmly.

　　“Go for it!”gets name from football.Not football as it is played in most countries such as England,Egypt or Japan,but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.

　　One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed,after three attempts,to move the ball forward ten yards.The team must make a critical decision.

　　The conservative (保守) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat in order to gain a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball.The more exciting choice,however,is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed.People present are certain to shout their advice.Some will shout: “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance.“Go for it!” They will scream.

　　In the nineteen eighties,people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely.

　　There is no guarantee (保證) that the action you “go for it” will succeed.

　　But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it.You put your fears behind.You choose courage over safety.You hold your breath and go for it.
